Found this guy on the beach the other day and he was a little worse for wear but is perking up in the qt as he is a spearer what other things can i throw in that he will eat. Apart from fin fish I have an inlimited supply of herms are they any good

From what I know about those types of mantis shrimp they like to dig a deep burrow(twice their body length I think) and sit And wait for fish. I am almost positive they won’t eat hermits but maybe try some thawed raw shrimp

Your best bet is live finned fish that may entice it to eat if its not too stressed out, or to just let it go.
